Traction Control System (TCS)

The vehicle has a traction control system that limits
wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road
conditions. On a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the system
operates if it senses that one or both of the rear wheels
are spinning or beginning to lose traction. On an
All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) vehicle, the system will operate
if it senses that any of the wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the
system brakes the spinning wheel(s) and/or reduces
engine power to limit wheel spin.
The system may be heard or felt while it is working, but
this is normal.
See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light on
page 4 60. When this warning light is on, the system
will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
This warning light comes
on if there is a problem
with TCS.
